blendshape

Definitions

A face rig allowing an animator to generate new facial expressions by combining or blending a set of predefined expressions (known as the targets).

Examples

“If you don't have⟳ the blendshapes your character needs then your character cannot act except with body language.”

“Similarly, avatar facial animation through vision-based methods has been explored following a similar approach⟳ in which facial features on the user's face⟳ are tracked via a Kinect [15] or single image acquisition methods [3, 4, 10] to generate⟳ animation via detailed face⟳ rigs or pre-defined blendshapes.”

“Second, and more widely used for real-time purposes, facial blendshapes (predefined morph targets) can be defined as morph properties of the avatar's face⟳ and deformed according to tracking software inputs [Orvalho et al., 2012].”
